SNL Pro Enhances Live Sound with Yamaha's Flagship Rivage
PM10 System
The Yamaha Flagship Rivage PM10 Powers Sound and Light Professionals
Sound & Light Professionals (SNL Pro), based in Mumbai, is one of the most renowned names in
India's
live sound industry. Established in 1999, SNL Pro has grown to become a trusted partner for over
14,000 events, collaborating with global and local artists such as Post Malone, Ed Sheeran,
Lollapalooza, and Diljit Dosanjh. With major upcoming performances by Coldplay and Bryan
Adams, the
company's dedication to exceptional sound production remains unwavering.
Recently, SNL Pro added Yamaha's Rivage PM10 mixing system to its touring inventory, a
strategic
investment underscoring its commitment to delivering cutting-edge live sound experiences. The system
was acquired through Dev Electronics, Yamaha's local partner in India.
The Rivage PM10: Technical Excellence in Live Sound
The Rivage PM10 represents Yamaha's flagship offering, providing an ideal balance of
technical
sophistication and ease of use. SNL Pro's new setup includes:
- PM10 surface for intuitive control.
- DSP-RX-EX engines, enabling 288 inputs, 72 mix outputs, and 36 matrix buses at a 96kHz
resolution.
- RPIO622 rack offering 72 mic/line inputs and 40 outputs for scalable, high-quality sound
reinforcement.
- Integrated MADI and Waves plugins, which expand the system's creative and functional
possibilities.
The system also features Yamaha's proprietary Silk processing, a tool that enhances sonic
warmth and
clarity. "The Silk feature allows us to tailor the sound to meet production needs, making the mix
feel as smooth as silk," noted Nasan Fernandes, Senior System Engineer at SNL Pro.
The PM10 leverages Dante audio networking, ensuring low-latency, high-fidelity sound
transmission
across complex event setups. The system also includes redundant fibre connectivity, allowing for
stable, long-distance audio transport in large-scale venues.
Fernandes highlighted the system's intuitive workflow, emphasising its importance during fast-paced
live events. "Ease of use and reliability were key factors in our decision to invest in the PM10,"
he said.
With over 300 experienced professionals, SNL Pro caters to a diverse range of events, from corporate
gatherings and music festivals to sports leagues and political rallies. The addition of the PM10
system positions the company to deliver high-quality audio for the most demanding productions.
Manish Mavani, Director at SNL Pro, noted, "The versatility and reliability of the Rivage
PM10
system make it an invaluable addition to our inventory. It's perfect for our diverse portfolio of
events, ensuring exceptional sound quality."
SNL Pro's investment in the Rivage PM10 highlights its leadership in the sound reinforcement
industry. By adopting Yamaha's flagship system, the company reaffirms its reputation as a pioneer in
live event audio, delivering transformative sound experiences across India's vibrant entertainment
landscape.
This milestone represents a step forward for both SNL Pro and the broader live sound industry in
India, demonstrating the power of integrating innovative technology into live event production.
